I am a proud staff member of Otago Polytechnic and have been here for 18 years. In that time I have had multiple roles. My current role of Executive Director is exciting and I hope to get the opportunity to work with all staff across the institution to continue with our excellent outcomes for learners.
My initial qualification is in counselling and I have worked in this space for over twenty five years.
I mainly grew up in Dunedin and gained my tertiary education through Otago University (three quals) and Otago Polytechnic (two quals). My two boys have left home and one is doing his Masters at Victoria University and the other just finished his Bachelor of Social Services here. My wife works at Otago University and we both have a strong view of education being an opportunity to create change.
